RFF's Golden Rule:Have RESPECT for each other, regardless of opinion. This of course includes no flaming/insulting other users and/or their posts.

Zach, also known as the "Magic Viner," says he's able to make quick decisions, while his wife, Rachel, who manages Zachs behind-the-scenes work, enjoys taking more time when it comes to problem-solving. It should be interesting to see how the happy couple work together under pressure on the Race.
